Yet more praise for the Microsoft console incarnation of BioWare's sorcerous sci-fi epic.

By IGN Staff

The writer of this Knights of the Old Republic review opens the appraisal with an admission that BioWare's game is better and more addictive than he had hoped, with the following positive verbiage being directed toward the aural facet:

While quiet in some aspects of the game, John Williams's classic Star Wars themes are omnipresent through this opus, and even a few new ones to boot. Sound effects are top notch, from the burning sizzle of the lightsaber or the swing of the vibro blade, melee combat and blast attacks are a nice touch. The added effect of AAA voiceovers the likes of Ed Asner and Phil LaMarr (and a kindly bunch of others) makes this a quality touchup on an already classy game!

In addition to an overall score of 8.9 out of 10, the piece confers scores on the categories of gameplay, sound, graphics and "Fun Factor," with respective marks of 9.5, 9.0, 8.0 and 9.0 being awarded. - Annihilator
